I believe that the reason that a runner hit by a batted ball changed from the BR being credited with a base hit.............changed to a "fielders choice" was directly related to a 18U gold pitcher who lost a No-No because of old rule....................

Joel,
I completely disagree. There is no way a manager of the AA game would be smart enough to even think about pulling something like changing bases to gain an advantage. Now, if your talking about doing this unintentionally, then I think you would be in the right ballpark.
